Watford vs Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 18th January 2020,
FA Premier League – Vicarage Road.

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT.

Watford will host Tottenham in Premier League action this Saturday lunchtime.

The Hornets look like a new side under Nigel Pearson, who has successfully led them out of the relegation zone with an incredible run of form. Meanwhile, Spurs are sitting in eighth place and are without a win in three league matches.

Watford are priced at 23/10 to win the match by SkyBet and continue their great run in the league. The hosts are in inspired form under Nigel Pearson and have not lost in over a month; their last defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Their home form is also good, and they will be very high in confidence and will believe they can beat Spurs. They did come out victorious in the reverse fixture.

Captain Troy Deeney is leading by example at the front after a return from injury and is priced at 6/4 to score anytime.

Tottenham are favourites for the match and are priced at 11/10 to win the match. Spurs are struggling to string any positive results together in recent weeks. Jose Mourinho’s side have just one win in their last five matches across all competitions and were recently dealt a huge injury blow – with star man Harry Kane out until April.

His shoes are almost impossible to fill for this current squad, who will aim to play a different style of attack in order to win. Son Heung-Min is likely to move more centrally to give the Watford defenders a tricky afternoon. He is priced at 9/2 to break the deadlock.

The referee for this match will be Michael Oliver. The official has been one of the more understanding this season with an average of 32.9 booking points from his 17 top flight matches in charge. SkyBet are offering 11/8 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Watford 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

– Despite Watford’s lower league position they will be much higher on confidence than the Spurs side who are missing their star man.

Queens Park Rangers vs Leeds United
Saturday 18th January 2020
SkyBet Championship – Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off 12:30 GMT

Queens Park Rangers will host Leeds United in SkyBet Championship action this Saturday lunchtime.

QPR are comfortably midtable as it stands and can still make a push for play-offs in the second half of the season. Meanwhile, Leeds are currently second and are hoping to win the league under Marcelo Bielsa’s guidance.

Queens Park Rangers are priced at 3/1 to win the match by SkyBet and pull off a shock victory in front of a home crowd. The hosts have been very inconsistent over the Christmas period and have lost four of their last six league matches. However, they are a better side when playing at home – and demolished Cardiff 6-1 on New Year’s Day at Loftus Road.

Creative spark Eberechi Eze managed to get on the scoresheet in that match and take his season’s tally to 10 goals. He is priced at 7/1 to score first.

Leeds United are favourites to win the match and are priced at 4/5 to win the match. Marcelo Bielsa’s side look like a sure thing to gain promotion to the Premier League this season. However, they recent form has not been to the fans liking and they have just one win in their last five outings. They will be sure to pick their act up as they are just one point behind West Brom in top spot.

Patrick Bamford will likely lead the line for Leeds and will hope to add to his 10-goal tally for the term. He could cause QPR plenty of problems with his pace and work rate and is priced at 11/10 to score anytime.

The referee for this fixture will be Peter Bankes. The official has not been shy when reaching into his pocket this season. He has an average of 51.9 booking points from his nine second division matches in charge.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Queens Park Rangers 0-2 Leeds United

– The visitors have much more quality going forward and should dominate the match throughout.

Fulham vs Middlesbrough
Friday 17th January 2020
SkyBet Championship – Craven Cottage

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off 19:30 GMT

Fulham and Middlesbrough will lock horns in SkyBet Championship action this Friday night.

The hosts are enjoying a strong season under Scott Parker’s leadership and are trying to close the gap on the top two places. Meanwhile, the visitors are successfully climbing away from the relegation zone and are building a stronger side in the league after recent performances.

Fulham are priced at 17/20 to win the match by SkyBet and make it three victories in a row. The Cottagers are aiming to at least cement a play-off place this season and their home form is helping them reach that goal. They have won three of their last four matches on home turf against tougher opponents than Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough are priced at 29/10 to win the match and pull off a pretty big shock. Boro have become a much stronger outfit and only just narrowly lost to Spurs in the FA Cup in midweek. They are unbeaten in their last five league matches and are capable of bringing that form to Craven Cottage, despite being the underdogs.

Going forward, Ashley Fletcher is enjoying the most fruitful time of his career and has six league goals this season. SkyBet are offering 2/1 for the Middlesbrough frontman to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be David Webb. The official has been one of the more lenient this season in the second division – with an average of 30 booking points from his 14 matches. Both sides have also averaged over 20 booking points per match.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Middlesbrough

The hosts have been very strong at home this season. They do have some frailties at the back but should overcome their visitors.
